ABSTRACT
Radical cystectomy may have a major impact on the lives of affected patients. Older patients often have a reduced life expectancy after radical cystectomy. Therefore, aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) have to be balanced against a solely tumour-directed therapy. In this narrative review, factors influencing the HRQOL of affected patients were identified and discussed by selective literature search.Besides strategies to minimise perioperative morbidity, these include a patient-oriented and individualised treatment plan taking into account factors such as age, comorbidities, choice of urinary diversion and age-specific conditions, in particular frailty. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are crucial instruments to assess HRQOL outcomes and should be further implemented into routine clinical use.
